Revolutionize 2D animation with innovative N-way morphing technique!
The article introduces a new method for creating diverse 2D animations using a small set of simple shapes. Instead of using a new shape for each frame, the researchers blend between a few example shapes in a reduced pose-space. This approach allows for a wider range of deformations and input types compared to previous methods. By using N-way morphing on 2D graphics, the animations are correlated to paths in the pose-space, making it easy for users to control temporal behaviors with simple gestures. The key findings show that this technique produces varied animations with improved flexibility and efficiency.
